laptop computer, MP3 player, CD changer, or cassette
tape player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack for use
as another source for audio listening.

while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See “Defensive Driving”
in the Index of your vehicles owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.If your vehicle has rear audio/video input jacks, located
in the rear of the center console, they can be used
as another source for audio/video listening.

The navigation system’s voice recognition allows for
hands-free operation of the navigation system,
audio system, and OnStar
®features. The DVD map
disc must be installed in the navigation system for voice
recognition to work. See “Installing the DVD Map
Disc” underMaps on page 2-4. Voice recognition can
be used when the ignition is on or when Retained

Helpful Hints for Stating Commands

When a multiple command is available, choose the
command that best works for you.
Words that are in brackets are optional. For example,
for the command Radio [band] [select] FM, stating
Radio FM or Radio select FM are both valid
commands.
When the system recognizes the command the
system will:
either perform the function
ask you to conrm your choice by clearly
stating “yes or no”
issue an error message such as “System does
not recognize this command” or direct you to
“Please start speaking after the beep”
If the system is not yet ready, the system may state
“System is checking the disc. Please wait”.
To cancel a command or if the system response
does not match your verbal command, press and
hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply,
“System will cancel the voice recognition”.
